Big Sur Fires Threaten Coast | Fresno News

Big Sur’s wildfires rage on, with over 54,000 acres scorched as two major fires battle steep terrain and dense brush. The Timber Fire, now at 23% containment, threatens Highway 1, while the more volatile Plaskett Fire remains just 1% contained and continues to grow. Evacuations are underway in Monterey County, with shelters open in Cambria and Carmel. Cooler temps and higher humidity offer hope for firefighters, though smoke lingers along the coast—especially in Cambria—with air quality still moderate for sensitive groups. This rugged coastline remains a dangerous battleground where every day brings new challenges. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
